We have quietly entered our teens now... again no one noticed. Ah well... 13 years... and many of us who are still active have been here over 10 of those years! I think it's truly amazing and a tribute to this forum.

As of this posting, we are now 18 years old and still hanging in there! Our Facebook presence is greater than here, and we have just come back from a 5 month hiatus after a system crash, but everything is in its place and there is a place for everything.
